Me - I'm a MonsterCross fan. Much cheaper than bespoke CX stuff and a little more versatile - here is my my Niner MonsterCross.

 

The Niner is now back to being a real mtb and I've built a Cotic MonsterCommuter - more MTB than Monster just the rigid fork and CX tyres really. That's the other nice thing about Monstering - you can start with just the tyres then add stuff as you go along :-)

you can make a cx bike a monstercross bike... 700x41 will do that! ha ha

 

Indeed. I dig building different bikes.

 

Commuter/CX/MTB/Road - just bang 'em all together Frankenstein style and ride the *** out of them.

What bars are those? I admit I do like the look of this.. very much... wonder how it would look with 3 x 8 gripshifts..... :)

 

I have a set of On One Midges if you're interested.

These are also easy to source, if you want to look at CX bikes PM me and we can arrange...

 

Also not very expensive (Although that Ritchey is hot!)
